Tuam park hosts Family Carers fundraising walk

Family Carers Ireland is inviting the people of Tuam to Step Up and take part in a special 5k fundraising walk starting from the Palace Grounds, Tuam on Sunday.

Family Carers Ireland supports Ireland’s 500,000 family carers who provide unwavering support to loved ones, often without recognition or adequate support.

The public are urged to show up and show their support for the hundreds of thousands of people who care for loved ones at home, many without a break.

The event will raise vital funds and awareness to ensure that Family Carers Ireland can continue to be there for those who dedicate their lives to caring for others.

“With just days to go, we’re urging everyone in Galway to get involved,” said Eileen Aherne, National Fundraising Manager at Family Carers Ireland.

“Whether you join us at Palace Grounds, Tuam, or walk in your own community, your support helps shine a light on the realities faced by family carers—and shows they are not alone.”

The Tuam walk begins at 11am and to register or donate to the fundraiser, visit familycarers.ie.
